The best way to remove items from the Start Menu on the H21 is to connect the device to a computer over ActiveSync, select "File Management," then open the "\" drive on the device. From there, -->

===Suspend / Resume===

H21 device can be placed in suspend mode (also called sleep mode) if you tap the power key once. It is resumed (woken up) the same way. The display will be completely off in this state but some of the status LEDs will continue to blink slowly and you can still receive incoming calls and other alerts. The device will automatically enter a suspend state after a set time period has elapsed. The default time for this is 1 minute but can be configured in the 'Power' application.

=====Menu Codes=====

-

Menu Codes is the term Opticon uses to indicate a barcode or number/letter combination that has special significance to our barcode scanners. Nearly all of Opticon's products use the same set of menu codes for all possible configuration options. In the case of the H21, many of these options are expressed as buttons and drop down boxes on the various tabs of the Scanner Settings program as described above. A few options, notably those categorized as ''Data Wizard'' options must still be configured manually. These menu codes, when known, are placed in the flat text file Initbcr.bcr as described above. The ''Data Wizard'' is a series of Menu Codes that allow for basic string manipulations such as removing or replacing certain characters within the barcode data or only transmitting certain portions based on matching criteria. Please [mailto:support@opticonusa.com Contact Us] for additional details on these features. A specific example of these codes (used to remove a possible 18th digit from a normally 17 digit VIN) and instruction in their use can be found below.
